Lady Gaga has returned to Las Vegas for the latest leg of her Enigma residency, but before Thursday night’s performance, she helped christen the Haus Of Gaga.
The 33 year old singer (real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) took to her Instagram story on Thursday, seen dancing in front of fans.
She also signed one of the walls at this Haus of Gaga exhibit, which opened on Thursday and, according to Billboard, marks the first time Gaga has opened her personal vault for public viewing.

Stunning: No doubt fans will be excited to experience it
The exhibit, which opened to the public for the first time on Thursday, puts dozens of Gaga’s dresses, wigs and other props on display.
Included in the collection is the now-infamous Franc Fernandez meat dress that Gaga wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
The dress was ultimately refrigerated and then preserved by American Taxidermy so it could be displayed at her extensive archive in Los Angeles.

‘Haus of Gaga is a space where you can experience all of Gaga and [it has been her] dream to [have] all her outfits in one place. We have about 20 outfits, over 40 wigs and accessories and shoes, everything, says Nicola Formichetti, fashion director and Haus of Gaga Las Vegas curator.
‘The digital space was very much an inspiration [for the exhibition]—and then mixed with a little bit of Las Vegas showgirl moment,’ Formichetti added.
‘For the opening, I specifically have more of her earlier stuff. But we already have the next one [in mind],’ Formichetti added, already thinking ahead to the future.
